Here's the list of the four heroes from the game:
Name: Mike
Age: 19
Class: Thief, hehe
Race: Human Male
Girlfriend: Valerie
He's a boy who is in love with a mage. His "friends" though, have gotten his feelings totally mixed up, and so he doesn't know what to do. He has a tendency to talk to himself/thing aloud. He's a great thief, even if he does let love get in the way of his job.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Zach
Age: 22
Class: Paladin!
Race: Human Male
Girlfriend: None...
This brown-haired boy has learned much of the years. He works hard to raise his skills, help others in need, and work hard to gain honor and valor. His honor is what keeps him going, and makes his skills grow. He also has a huge hate for Mike's girlfriend, and wishes she could just die.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Jessica
Age: 17
Class: Cleric
Race: Human Female
Boyfriend: Actually...she has a crush on a girl...so that don't help.
This blonde-haired nuisance has found herself on the "other side of the tracks" love wise. She has found guys to be disgusting, horrible, and mean, thus has gone for girls instead. She enjoys her cleric powers, but sometimes wishes she could trade them in for something damaging.
-------------------------------------------------
Name: Valerie
Age: 22
Class: Mage
Race: Human Female
Boyfriend: Mike
This brown-haired girl has had her share of trouble. First, she is bound by a vow not to use her powers unless the Lords of the Institute of Magic allow her to, or she is within the Institute. She is madly in love with Mike, but with his feelings mixed up, she can't be with him. She also has a tendency to draw hate towards herself, unknown to anyone why this happens.
---------------------------------------------------
Name: Lords of the Institue of Magic
Age: ???
Class: They're the lords of the institute!
Race: ???
Not much is known about these four. They lie in shadow, and their names are known only be the elite of the Institute of Magic. They are also said to be no-good, rotten, untrustworthy, evil, and down right disgusting people! Well, play the game and you'll learn more.
-----------------------------------------------------
And, that's it for the main characters.
Thanks to everyone who helped out!
Yes! Look at this! Game complete!

Actually, I posted them on the requests forum, but no one was seeing them. I kinda hoped this would redirect people to it. But, here, I've uploaded the file. I need emotions for the second picture, other then that, I really don't need much else in facesets, except maybe some extra emotions for Zach

If i get really into it tonight i could have it up tomarrow sometime.
This could also benifit me 2 cause i was planning on using that character in my game 2. Go figure.

lol, all right. If you could do that, then thanks. I really need them. I need certain emotions, so make sure they get put in, but after that, if you've still got room (which you should) then feel free to add other things, too. Happy, sad, crying, suprised, angry, shouting-angry, and blushing are the ones I SPECIFICALLY need. Hopefully it's not too late to put in those requests, since I'm guessing you probably already started work on them.

I'm not good at editing things at all...so, unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to. I'm trying out an idea, but I don't know if it's gonna work or not. I guess we'll see when I get done. I don't even know how a good underwater place would be set up. Anyone think they could help me out with figuring that out? Maybe someone here could give me a screenshot of a good underwater village, and possibly the shipset used to make it, unless it was one of the originals.

Maybe you could get a set from there. Sure its black and white, but a few pics for refrence could always help.

I've never played any of the final fantasy games, sorry, so I wouldn't know what you mean. That might work, though, although I'd like it if other people were to respond to possibly hep out, too. Guess I'm not known well enough around here.
I'm currently working on an underwater land right now. Maybe I'll have it, maybe I won't. It's like making a cave or a town, and I'm horrible at making either of those...unfortunately...

Just have seaweed instead of plants, add bubbles(Little bubble charsets!) And tint the screen blue. Also, no grass. Make the ground sand. Hey presto!

Well, that would work. I don't have any seeweed-like things...I don't think, so that may be a bit hard, same with the bubbles, since I don't gots them, either. Although, the sand and the blue tinted screen were already underway. I had already thought those up, so now I'm working on some other parts of it, too, trying to see what I can do.

Yeah, I know. I found something in one of the tilesets. It sort of looks like seaweed, even though it's actually vines. I'm just using those for the seaweed, I don't have the bubbles, yet, though.

Anyone think they can provide me with a way to upload my game to a website? All the websites I've been to say they only except a total file upload of 5MB, and so far my game is 30MB.

There is a tutorial in the game. See?
Need to train? Come to Faylore's Training Center.
Or you could go to the Weapon Master
The Seer of Ages makes a small appearance at Faylore if you beat the first boss
Speaking of which, here's the first boss!
You want to go through the mazes of the Magic Shops?
Last, but surely not least, a small view of Daimondo Tower

I'd like to answer that question, but right now there is no way to download it. None of my websites will accept a file bigger then 5 MB, and the game is almost 30 MB. I could send it to you by e-mail if you'd like, but you'll end up getting 2-3 e-mails that will all include parts of the game in zip format. If that's okay with you, then let me know. Either reply here, or e-mail me at storycatchermike@yahoo.com. Either one works.

Oh, well, I tried a couple of sites that I found the other day. I'm waiting for them to reply to me. Perhaps I'll have a site soon where people can hop over and download it. I'm not sure, yet, though, so we'll have to wait and see.

although I was a bit confused about Mike and valerie's relationship.....
the difficulty was just right, although havin 4/5 battles before the boss on the boat (near the beginning) was a little tiresome _sweat_

Yeah, I know about the tiresome battles on the boat. I was trying to create the idea of the fact that there was like...a huge amount of monsters, and the only way that RPG Maker would allow me to do that, is if I made several waves like that. So, I ended up changing it from 2 battles (one with Mike and one with Val) and making it into 5 battles (4 with mike and 1 with Val).
About their relationship, the game is supposed to suggest that they are engaged, but I guess I didn't portray that right. I wouldn't know anything about that, though, since I've never been engaged. In fact...I've never had a girlfriend before...my life sucks, don't it?
Post by: Leon_1990 on April 12, 2005, 04:00:27 PM
(don't worry I've had enough girlfriends for both of us lol)
btw, why do they call each other bro and sis?

The reason for that, is because they live life thinking of each other as brother and sister. That keeps them from getting involved with anything they wouldn't want to do if they were really brother and sister. In other words, it helps them keep each other away from things like having sex before marriage and stuff ^^"

but...
-when you leave the dracolich cave you teleport into a mountain where you can't move.
-you can't escape from any battle and that's alittle weird!
-you used alot of default RTP
-when Zach attacks he just swings his sword and the enemys across the field get hurt. the same thing with Jessica's whip.you might wanna make them run up to the enemy, then swing the sword or whip!
but i really like the game the story is really good and i just beat the fossil at the end of the dracolich cave.i like it alot. i will kepp leaving posts as i play the game! :bend:

The escape thing I haven't figured out, yet...if you go into the battle, the indivdual charas can select the escape, which will make the whole group escape, but I have yet to figure out how to get the escape at the fight menu to work.
Also, about the RTP, I had no real choice. I have no one around who can write music or make charasets for me. Most of the charasets are things I stumbled upon or things I generated off the charas generator.
About the fighting. You're right, it is a little wierd, but in some games they do that. I'm not sure why, but they do. I'm also glad to hear you beat Cankerburg, the Dracolich.
As for the mountain thing...I corrected that like...20 times now...I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...It is a possiblity that I messed up on the teleport thing somewhere in the game. I'll have to check. Thanks for letting me know about the problem.

You beat Drakus? Cool if you did. Evanna is to the south of the area that you come from when you get out of the ocean. Just look for a path that will lead you there. If you follow the path enough, you'll eventually find it. Evanna is my first town, so there isn't much there except for a bunch of stores. You'll also get an event when you walk in, supposing you beat Drakus.

Dang...I thought I had fixed that problem...Well, I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure if GhostClown would be happy with me sending him the game again if all I edited was that. We'll have to see, though...I'm not sure if I can do anything about that right now.

Read my birthdate. I'm 15. Anyway, charas knows no ages. It's how you act that makes up you. Generally you perceive someone that's been on Charas longer as being 'older'. But anyway, I'll get back on topic now.

This is very true. Anyway, time to get back on topic. Anyone got any ideas that I might add to my game? It's kinda short, and when the story to it is done...I'm afraid that it'll only have 5-6 chapters...
Note: Any ideas posted here will probably not be seen in the game, but will most likely be seen in the story of it.

Of course you do. Don't worry...it'll be available within the next 3 months or so...not sure when, as I have to write out the WHOLE JOH: CoC story, before I'm ready to release 2.0. So, you'll probably gonna have to wait a while. I'll let you know when I get it done.
